"Hope you are excited to come up, I know I sure miss the area!  \n \nWas on Lake Bemidji last weekend and did alright. Fished all over the lake, mostly the south end. The lake gets pressured by some good fishermen in the area and if a spot is good it'll likely have a few shacks on it.  \n \nAll I did was simply find a good break and fished it during peak hours. There are plenty of good breaks around the lake, you'll see houses on them, but good starting spots are right out from the Cameron Access, or right out from the access at Paul and Babe. Its would be nice to have portables but if I were you I would drill holes until you found a nice break say around 27-30 feet and set the house down.  \n \nIf you are staying in the fish house fish into the night. The only time I caught 'eyes was very near dawn and dusk for about a 20 minute window. They bit fast for about 20 minutes then shut down- could see them on the camera but they didn't seem interested in any offering. In the morning the 'eyes bit first and then perch followed for a short while. In the evening perch bit first and then the 'eyes followed. Caught the majority of fish on a small Northland Buckshot Rattle with a gold back and orange front tipped with a minnow head. The other fish came on a medium shiner held on the bottom. I think catching crappies on Lake Bemidji is a rare occurrence, if you tie into one it will probably be a nice one, but don't expect to catch 'em.  \n \nI guess I could sum it like this- fish hard around prime time for eyes, and maybe set some flags shallow during the day. Try perch during the day, expect walleye at dusk. You have a chance at a nice fish so be ready!  \n \nAs for travel, there are some plowed spots, but bring a shovel for sure.  \n \nGood luck and let us know how you do! \n"
